## New Scientist Reviews in Canada

### *---- "Do NOT subscribe through this app."
I paid $100 for a subscription that the app does not recognize. I am out the money, and New Scientist refuses to do anything to help me.
-- Disgruntledunhappyperson, 2024-07-01

### ****- "A few improvements"
Good app, but would love to see issue status (ie read or not read), and the ability to auto download new issues. 

I often binge read my magazines every few months and so have a hard time figuring out where I left off, and end up having to download/check a bunch I’ve already read. A little annoying.
-- Julie casey, 2024-03-12

### ****- "4/5"
Love the publication but the app could use some minor improvements

- scrolling articles is jumpy because of the nav bar
- scroll acceleration is also on for some reason, this is usually a feature to mimic macOS on windows, not sure why it’s happening on iOS
- no search, at least I was not able to find it
-- Max7372, 2024-02-20

### *---- "In app purchase doesn’t work"
The in app feature doesn’t work. I can’t log on with my Apple account ID. 
Good content, but for a science app, you think they’d know how technology works.
-- bootneck45, 2023-12-01

### ***** "Return of an old pleasure"
New Scientist was a familiar pastime in my college days 50 plus years ago, and now in my mid seventies, i am rediscovering the lost pleasures….missing a favourite…’mathematical games’ …but its a great pastime…thanks and kudos to all who are continuing the great work !
-- Mushtaquea, 2023-09-01

### ***** "Our Favourite Magazine"
New Scientist is the only magazine that my husband and I read. We have appreciated the coverage of so many topics. 
I’m disappointed that the app has to be connected to wifi to read it.
Downloading the magazine ment I could read it when there is no wifi.
Mae
-- Grandma7mae, 2022-07-07

### *---- "Rip off"
Was supposed to get 4 weeks free upon joining but was charged immediately 
Then I see on the app that it has a 6 weeks free offer
Good way to screw people over
-- Louise66Danf, 2022-05-19

### **--- "Content great, new app sucks"
Love the content but the new app forced on us a couple weeks ago is a massive down grade. Very disappointing. I can no longer see which articles I’ve read or even which issue I’m on. And night mode has disappeared. Very frustrating to try to read. Was much better before “upgrade”
-- SirMagCanada, 2022-03-15

### ***** "Night time reading"
There is no way I can find that allows me to get a black background, like was available in previous versions
-- ickname is a stuoid idea, 2022-03-12

### ***** "Great when you’re away."
So nice to still get access when I’m not home for the mail issue.
-- tvannost, 2020-07-27

### *---- "wrong prices"
the description says 115 per year, but in the app it says 155. i would go for 115, but 155 is way too much.
-- Slarty Blartfast, 2020-05-30

### ***** "New Update Fixes All"
The app now remembers where you are in an article so you can seamlessly pick it back up! Upgraded to 5 stars. Best impartial science journalism around and now with a modern functional app.
-- Slevin14, 2020-04-27

### **--- "Great content, app needs some tweaks"
Only disappointments are with app design: 
1. when reading in Night Mode with low brightness and Night Shift on (how I have it set all the time), linked text (in red) are nearly impossible to read while parts of the article still have bright white background as if “extra info” ignores fact night mode is on
2. When checking for updated content (nearly every time app opens) please remember which article I was reading and where in the article I was and go back to that spot rather than to all the cover pages. I can easily see cover pages by pressing home icon but have to manually toggle through them and scroll down articles to find where I last was
-- Rjt dv mittd, 2020-02-17

### ***** "Advertisements"
If you are going to have ads please put them inline with the text as in the paper magazine. The google ads at the bottom of the page are most unwelcome. 

Are you going to make me pay more for an ad free version?

I feel cheated that an “upgrade” has downgraded the app.

The ads are still there - down one star
-- RW3, 2019-12-01

### ****- "Ban Banner Ads for Paid Subscription"
New Scientist (a great magazine by the way) I now places banner ads (driven through Google) at the bottom of every article page with the latest app update even on a fully paid subscription. No option to pay an additional amount for removal of these banner ads. 
This isn’t ethical as the ads also appear on all prior paid subscriptions when no ads appeared before. These prior magazine issues were stored on my iPhone (or so I thought).  
These prior subscriptions were paid at a higher rate then than now so how is it the ads can now be placed on my prior paid subscriptions where they didn’t appear. 
I suggest that New Scientist decision makers rethink their monitizing policy change. Otherwise it is hasta la vista.

Update as of 3NOV2019
Happy to say that the banner ads don’t appear any more for paid subscriptions. 
Excellent magazine as I did acknowledge earlier and still is.
-- Exit28, 2019-11-03

### *---- "All I want"
... is to have the app open to the last page I was reading.
-- R-G C-B, 2019-11-01

### ***** "New science"
I love the variety of topics as well as the fact that the articles are readable by most people
-- hanspansie, 2019-10-21

### ****- "Two improvements needed"
Should be able to change to a sans serif font like Calibri to make it easier to read. 
In dark mode it is very hard to read the red text. Try some other colour. 

Love the magazine.
-- Gordianx, 2019-10-10

### ***** "Content is great but the app sucks!"
I love New Scientist.  Great content, excellent coverage of topics and well written.  Too bad we have to put up with such lousy mobile app.  

Downloading to device is just one example of the poor design.  You have to download one issue at a time and the silly app deletes your downloads mistakenly because of low memory!  I have an IPhone with 512GB and only 10% full!
-- Seanfan2, 2019-10-04

### ***** "Ruined by Google"
Not shown in the screen shots are the Google ads at the bottom of the screen on each article.  These ads often contain moving content and are highly annoying.

If you don’t mind moving ads covering the bottom few lines on each page then this is a pretty good app.   Otherwise, the printed version might be a better alternative.

Interestingly, the ads don’t appear on my older iPad.
-- Science Admirer, 2019-08-22
